  • "It was very nice and tidy and it was ok"

    Reviewed by Ann5.0Sep 2026

  • "Would not recommend staying here."

    The owner is clearly having difficulties and is not overseeing the cleaning or maintenance of the property. It was absolutely filthy on arrival and needs a deep clean. All of the surfaces were greasy and unusable, the kitchen tap was broken as was the kitchen bin and the bottom underneath the bin liner was full of moulding food. The floor throughout was filthy leaving our socks black and the underneath of the sofa cushions were full of dog hairs, cigarette filters, and moulding food and crumbs which must have accumulated over months. As other reviews state, this property is not currently fit to stay in. On top of the filthy state of the property, there was an issue with the gas boiler not working and what’s worse no running water throughout the entire property. Whilst the owner apologised, the house was not liveable and we could not stay there. While I understand that things happen in life and the owner is clearly in ill health, he should not be advertising properties for customers to stay in when they are not fit for guests. What has been most upsetting is that instead of providing me with a refund, he has taken my money and ignored my contact leaving me no option but to pursue complaint through Sykes to try to reclaim my money so that I can take my children on a memorable holiday to make up for the upset caused by this situation. We will not stay in any properties belonging to this owner again due to his poor handling of the situation which he could have resolved with a genuine apology and refund.
